Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Forms system editor not creating temp file under Windows
Hi,
We are using Forms 4.5 under NT4 and Windows 2000 against 81714 database on Windows.
For a particular form, the fields are set to invoke the System Editor when Edit, Edit is selected from the menu or <Ctrl-E> is pressed.
This works under NT4 but under W2K.
Under W2K, Forms 4.5 tries to create a temp file with a 4 character extension (eg .1TMP) but the file is not created. Under NT4, the file is created successfully with the expected 3 character .TMP extension.
Has anyone seen this behaviour and know of a workaround?
We are considering altering the item properties to use the default editor instead of the system editor, but it would be better to allow the system editor (notepad) to keep working.
I have tried altering the system editor to write or the NT4 version of notepad (by the registry setting forms45_editor) but this has no effect.
Thanks,
Bruce Reardon
